The second matchup of the preseason will offer another chance to evaluate the quarterback room. Veteran Mason Rudolph is battling rookie Drew Allar and second-year player Will Howard for the gig behind Aaron Rodgers. The trio combined for a strong effort in a 28-9 win over the Green Bay Packers in the preseason opener
Rudolph drew the start against the Packers. He completed 10 of 11 passes for 93 yards. After a three-and-out on the first possession, Rudolph engineered a 16-play drive that ended at the goal line. Tight end Pat Freiermuth was tackled at the one-yard line on fourth down. Rudolph took two sacks, but generally kept the offense on schedule. Pittsburgh had a Lew Nichols touchdown run nullified by a Trot Fautanu penalty with Rudolph at the helm
Howard took over from Rudolph. He hit on seven of his nine passes, picking up 86 yards. Howard nearly got the Steelers on the board at the end of the second quarter. He connected with tight end Robert Tonyan across the middle for what was initially ruled a 23-yard touchdown strike. Replay review ultimately overturned the call. Nichols punched in a one-yard score on the next play
Allar might’ve been the most impressive of the quarterback group. He went 10-for-13 for 153 yards and two touchdowns. The former Penn State signal caller also added a short touchdown run. Excluding a kneel-down to end the game, the Steelers scored on every Allar drive

First-round pick Max Iheanachor is unlikely to suit up for the matchup against the Jets. The offensive tackle is dealing with an upper-body injury
Veteran Dylan Cook continues to handle the majority of the reps at right tackle. Iheanachor has been limited to individual drills as he tends to the injury
